a/n - Hiyo ;D
Here's another chapter for you guys, bit of a NSFW warning here, but hey... i should of put that at the beginning of the story for all the swear words i've used XD
"Where's that whistling coming from?" Rukia wondered out loud to Orihime "I've never heard anyone whistling out this late at night… or anyone whistling… anywhere"
As Rukia and Orihime approached the sound of whistling suddenly there was a large flash of light, a loud bang , and the sounds of Moll stringing swear words filled the air
"It's Moll" Rukia said "What could she be doing all the way out here?"
They ran for a few seconds until Moll came in sight, still swearing her head of
"Shit fuck shit gah bloody son of a stab you piece of…" She cursed, cradling her right hand with her left hand
"Are you alright?" Orihime asked, concerned
"Oh hey Rukia, Orihime… do I fucking look like I'm alright? I nearly seared all the skin off my damned hand?" Moll growled "Don't ask a stupid question"
"Sorry" Orihime said, taken aback
"I'm sorry for snapping, but I'm literally about to pass out in pain, can you fix this up please?"
"Soten Keshun" Orihime murmured, kneeling down as a golden shield encased Moll's hand
Moll sighed in relief
"Oh that's so much better, now we can talk"
"What were you doing out here, and how did you injure yourself so badly"
"Training with So.. kido, training with kido and it misfired"
"This is extreme for a misfire" Rukia commented, inspecting the burn
"The last time I misfired I destroyed one of the training rooms… I'm not allowed to train in the training rooms anymore" Moll said sheepishly "So I had to come out here"
Rukia nodded, remembering that incident, Joel had freaked the fuck out
Moll realized something
"Wait a minute Rukia… Orihime, what the fuck are you doing in Seireitei… whats happening down in the real world, how's Joel, how's Layne?"
"Calm down" Rukia replied "Joel's fine, training with Renji and Sado, but I don't know where Layne is"
"Trell-kun is fine" Orihime added "He's training with Kurosaki-kun"
"We came here to use the training grounds behind 13th division"
"Why don't you train with us?" Orihime offered "If you hurt yourself again I can heal it"
"Sounds like a hell of a plan" Moll accepted
"Even if I actually have to train my kido now…"
Ulquiorra lightly tapped on the large white doors in front of him
"It's Ulquiorra, I'm coming in"
The doors swung open for Ulquiorra and Yammy and Aizen turned around
"Ahh, you made it, Ulquiorra, Yammy, we were just finishing up"
Ulquiorra looked around the room as he walked down the stairs, recognizing all the figures present in the room, the other Espada, Kieran, Jed, and Anita, Visera and Mollow
The Espada and Visera were obvious, Kieran as well, Jed and Anita not so much, Mollow were also confusing choices, though with as much things that had been involving them recently Ulquiorra supposed he should just consider her an honorary members of the Espada, her level was at least similar.
Aizen was doing something to a bandaged figure kneeling in front of him, holding his hand over its head and upon closer inspection Ulquiorra could see him holding the Hogyoku
"What is the progress of the Hogyoku?" Ulquiorra asked emotionlessly
"Fifty percent" Aizen replied "Right on schedule… as far as Soul Society is concerned, Of course, without actually touching it, it's impossible to understand, even Kisuke Urahara wouldn't know, having sealed it away as soon as he created it… that if someone above Captain Class reiatsu temporarily joins their reiatsu with that of the Hogyoku"
As Aizen was speaking his monologue, light was emerging from his fingertips, illuminating the room, and the faces of everyone present
"It displays for the smallest instant, the power of the Hogyoku in its fully awakened state" he finished, the illumination from his hand peaking and then disappearing so the room was mostly covered in shadows again
The bandages around the kneeling figure hardened and shattered, leaving a naked figure staring blankly at Aizen
"What's your name, comrade?" Aizen asked
"Wonderwiess… Wonderwiess Margera" Wonderwiess murmured blankly
Aizen was silent for a few seconds, and then spoke without looking at Ulquiorra
"Ulquiorra, Visera… you do remember the directive I discussed with you last month?"
"Yes Sir" Ulquiorra said, as Visera nodded
"Put it into action, the details are at your discretion, take whoever you want…ahh and would you go too? Grimmjow?, Mollow?"
Grimmjow and Mollow glared at each other, before nodding slightly
"Dammit!" Yumichika screamed at the top of his lungs, beginning to smash his zanpakuto on a nearby rock and cursing incoherently "Break damn you!"
"Quiet down" Rangiku snapped
"It's this Fuji Kujaku bastard! It thinks it's the most beautiful thing in the world, I'm pretty sure that I'll never materialize it, and even if it asked me too… I wouldn't"
"Isn't that just like you? At least Haineko is nothing like me, spoiled and lazy, moody and stupid, nothing at all like me"
"You two are soo similar, you're the type of person that sees a picture of you and says something like 'No way do I look like that"
"SHUT UP AND FOCUS. OR I SWEAR I'LL SEND YOU BACK TO SOUL SOCIETY!" Hitsugaya bellowed, breaking up their argument
"I swear, are they incapable of calming down and talking to their swords? He muttered to Ikkaku, who had his eyes closed as he calmly conversed with Hozukimaru
Ikkaku cracked one eye open, and looked up at the sky
"The clouds are sure moving fast" he thought
"Hmm, you say something Madarame?" Hitsugaya asked
"No… nothing"
Behind Ikkaku, a split appeared in the sky
"There you are" Hisagi said as he approached Ukitake, who was sitting on a grassy overhang, watching ahead "What are you doing out here?"
Ukitake turned his head to see who it was
"Ah, Hisagi-kun, I was just relaxing and doing some sightseeing"
Ukitake pointed out across the overhang, where Moll, Rukia and Orihime were training in a formerly lush field, before Moll and Rukia's kido got to it
"Isn't that, Rone, Kuchiki and the Ryoka girl?" Hisagi asked
"Orihime-chan" Ukitake corrected "They've been training for the war for a month now"
"For training, it sure looks like they're having fun" Hisagi commented
"It's good that Kuchiki has made good friends, she was never very good at it"
"Even if one of those friends is a human?" Hisagi questioned
"Don't say that"
"Sorry"
"Nah, no problem, it doesn't matter what your friends do, a friend is a friend, and those kids aren't normal anyway, it's likely they could all become Shinigami when they die, they're mostly more powerful than the majority of the Shinigami we have anyway"
"That's true" Hisagi replied
Ikkaku, Hitsugaya, Matsumoto and Yumichika all turned towards the Garganta at the same time, as it opened, revealing Grimmjow, Yammy, Wonderwiess, Mollow and another Arrancar with short black hair, and sleeves that covered his arms
"Isn't it too early!" Yumichika exclaimed
"It is too early" Hitsugaya replied, "But they're here anyway"
Up high, Yammy was feeling good
"We came out in a pretty nice spot" he muttered "Lots of high reiatsu"
"What are you talking about?" The unnamed Arrancar said "They're Shinigami, doesn't that make them the reinforcements that Mister six was talking about?"
"The bastard I want to kill isn't here" Grimmjow growled, disappearing
"Fuckwit beat me to it" Mollow cursed, before disappearing also
"Bastards" Yammy growled
"Forget it" The unnamed Arrancar said "He's a fallen Espada and she's a failure, its not like they can do anything"
"Ch, Luppi, the guy I want to kill isn't in that group either"
"Would that be the one that cut off your arm, the one that nearly sliced you in two with a reiatsu wave, the one that beat you up, or the one that blocked your cero"
Yammy turned to Luppi and grinned widely
"All of them!"
Yammy quickly unsheathed his sword and blocked a strike of Hitsugaya
"10th division Captain, Toshiro Hitsugaya" Hitsugaya introduced calmly
"What a coincidence, I'm a 10 too, Arrancar Diez, Yammy"
"10? Are you an Espada?"
"Exactly, you must of fought someone who doesn't know how to shut up"
"Are you an Arrancar too?" Yumichika asked Luppi
"Yes, my rank is… Sexta"
Wonderwiess sighed and knelt down, drooling as he watched a butterfly go past
"Is it really ok… to kill this guy?" Matsumoto muttered
Love and Kensei crashtackled Ichigo into the ground
"Let me go!" he shouted "I have to go fight!"
"We told you, you're not ready yet!" Kensei shouted back
"This is why your friends from Soul Society came, to deal with situations like this!" Love added
"But that's why I've been training, whats the point if I don't go now!" Ichigo yelled in desperation
Shinji grabbed the back of Kensei's jersey and pulled him off Ichigo
"Let him go"
"Oi Shinji, what are you thinking!" Kensei asked as Ichigo sprinted off up the stairs
Layne finally reached the place where his zanpakuto were buried up to their hilts in the ground, to find Lisa standing on top of them
"Where do you think you're going?" she asked calmly "You're nowhere near ready to take on Arrancar"
"Maybe not… but if I don't deal with this one then I don't deserve to continue existing"
"That's a big call to make"
"Maybe, but it doesn't change the fact that I'm going to do this"
Lisa hopped off the zanpakuto and picked them up, tossing them to Layne
"Remember, fifteen seconds"
"Plenty of time" Layne replied before vanishing
Ichigo ran outside the building and nearly ran straight into Grimmjow
"I was looking for ya, Shinigami" Grimmjow spat
"That's my line" Ichigo replied confidently, unwrapping Zangetsu and getting ready do Bankai "I'm going to show just you how much I've changed over the past couple of months"
"Kuchiki!" Ukitake shouted
"I heard the report!" Rukia shouted back at him "If the Kido brigade opens the gate I'll be on my way!"
"Wait Kuchiki-san" Orihime exclaimed after her, "I'll come…"
"You can't come Inoue, without a Hell Butterfly you'll just get sent to the Kouryuu currents"
"We're sealing those up, but it will take some time before you can safely get back" Ukitake said "I know you're rushing to get off, but you need to be patient"
"Yes sir" Orihime said meekly
"C'mon Inoue, I'll go with you through the Kouryuu, I'm going to this tango now, orders or no orders, and I hate travelling by Hell butterfly anyway" Moll said, slapping her on the back
"Fucking Grimmjow's already found that fucking kid" Mollow cursed, flying around in circles "Where the hell could mine be?"
A large ball of water tackled her out of the air
"Bankai?" Grimmjow asked derisively "What's that going to do? Have you forgotten that you were helpless against me with that Bankai?"
"Aren't you forgetting, that it was my Bankai technique that gave you that scar?" Ichigo replied, shutting Grimmjow up
"There's one thing I want to ask you though, what happened to your arm?" Ichigo continued
"I threw it away before I got here" Grimmjow smirked "I don't need two arms to kill you"
"Then its ok if I don't hold back at all then" Ichigo said reaching up to his face
"If you don't want to die, you'd better not!"
"I only got 11 seconds, I'd better wrap this up before then!" Ichigo thought as he pulled his mask into existence
Grimmjow stared in shock as he felt the reiatsu levels Ichigo was putting out as the mask appeared
"What…the fuck is that?"
"Sorry" Ichigo replied "I don't have time to explain!"
Ichigo shot forward like a bullet, and Grimmjow barely had time to draw his sword to block Ichigo's strike, realizing that if he took it on his skin his Hierro would be useless
"Getsuga Tensho!" Ichigo muttered, the black wave enveloping Grimmjow
Mollow kicked and struggled and managed to break free of Layne's grip before he piledrove her into the ground
"Dammit!" she cursed "You piece of shit"
"Nice to see you too" Layne replied "Ready for round two with a formerly blind man?"
Mollow growled "You're lucky i didn't kill you when you regained your sight, I won't make the same mistake twice"
"Bankai!" Layne shouted "Roxas Final Form!"
"Rise Inside, Sora!" Mollow countered
Layne and Mollow eyed each other off
"Whats the score now?" Layne asked "One and a half my way, and a half your way?"
"Something like that" Mollow spat
"Well, you know what they say about people that lose to the same person twice" Layne said calmly, slowly forming his mask over his face
Mollow stared in shock, with every second of that mask forming over his face, Layne's reiatsu increased exponentially
"That's…that's not right" she growled
"The hell it isn't" Layne replied, leaping forwards and pointing his claw at Mollow
"Void Eternity!"
"A motherfucking Cero!" she thought in alarm, throwing up her arms
The black-green cone of energy obscured Layne's sight of Mollow as it swallowed her
"Score one for the Republic" Layne muttered to himself
"What is this?" Yammy taunted, breaking Hyorinmaru's Ice off of his arm effortlessly "It's soooo cold"
Hitsugaya grunted
"He's only the 10th, but even with the limit released, it's useless without a Bankai" Hitsugaya realized, as he dodged a punch
Behind him, Yumichika went flying
"I told you" Luppi smirked "You've got no chance of winning if it's one on one, don't you get it?"
"Shut…up" Yumichika wheezed, pulling himself back up
"Aren't you going to say anything? Luppi shouted at Ikkaku, standing far off, a released Hozukimaru held loosely on his shoulders "I'm really about to kill him"
"Two on one isn't my style"
"Such a bother" Luppi sighed "Yammy, send that kid over here… since I'm annoyed by these guys, I'm going to release, and take you all, four on one, right now"
"No, you've used to up way too much strength" Renji shouted at Chad, holding him down "I'll go"
"Shut the hell up" Joel said, flykicking Renji in the back of the head "You're tired as all hell too"
"I haven't fought at all today, I'll go"
Urahara wordlessly unsheathed Benihime and walked with Joel towards the ladder
"A zanpakuto release!" Hitsugaya thought in alarm, remembering the one he had faced before
"Like I'll let you!" he shouted at Luppi, charging at him "Bankai! Daiguren Hyorinmaru!"
"Strangle, Trepadora" Luppi muttered
Shadows appeared around Hitsugaya and he enclosed his dragon wings around himself, to block a stab from what looked like a giant tentacle
"That's it, that's your released attack?"
"You took is better than I expected" Luppi mused "But what if the attack was multiplied… by 8?"
Hitsugaya got a good look at Luppi, his release had turned him into an eight tentacle monstrosity
"What…the hell?"
All eight tentacles converged on him at once
"Shit"
"Captain!" Matsumoto shouted as they exploded
"Damn…it" Hitsugaya groaned as he fell to the ground, like an icy shooting star
"I did say, that we should do it four on one" Luppu said patronizingly "Oh, I'm sorry, its four on eight now"
"That's not a Shinigami's power" Grimmjow breathed "You bastard, what have you been doing the past month"
Grimmjow looked like shit, Ichigo's Getsuga Tensho had made mincemeat of him and he was covered in his own blood
"Just what the fuck were you doing this past month?" Grimmjow yelled
"Told you" Ichigo replird curtly, appearing behind Grimmjow "No time to explain"
Another Black Getsuga overtook Grimmjow and sent him flying towards the ground, with Ichigo in hot pursuit
"Shit" Grimmjow muttered, opening his mouth wide and letting loose a blue beam
"Cero!" Ichigo realized, taking it head-on and dissipating it, with a third Getsuga
While he did that, Grimmjow had used Sonido to appear up behind Ichigo, but he turned around and blocked Grimmjow's strike effortlessly
"It's over Grimmjow"
Ichigo's mask shattered
Grimmjow grinned maniacally, seeing his chance
"Damn right it's over Shinigami!"
"You're pretty good now… Layne" Mollow snarled the name like a curse word, looking at Layne properly now, seeing the rips in his mask and the odd pattern it held
"Not good enough… I didn't get you fully" Layne replied, noting that she was only bleeding on her arm
They both disappeared and reappeared right in front of each other, Oblivion impacting Mollow's arm and Mollow's Golden Keyblade catching Layne on the side of his mask
They both went flying sideways
"Tried to knock my mask off… well I was kind of worried it might fall off too" Layne thought to himself, shaking off the impact and charging back at Mollow
Layne forward flipped in midair and sent a Rain off at Moll, using the acceleration of the flip to speed up the Rain, so she just barely dodged it
"Bastard" she growled
Layne dodged her counter Cero and tossed Oblivion and Oathkeeper like boomerangs at Mollow, but she dodged them with ease
"Why…?" She asked, and then her face dropped in horror as she saw what Layne was doing
Machine Gunning Void Eternity blasts at her so fast that his claw was a white blur behind black-green energy
"Shit"
"This… is a joke" Luppi commented with disdain, looking upon the beaten, but still standing forms of Ikkaku, Yumichika and Matsumoto
"Are you guys really Seated Officers in the Gotei 13?" he asked, and when they didn't reply continued with "Boooooring"
Luppi's tentacles snaked out and grabbed a hold of Ikkaku, Yumichika and Matsumoto
"Hey there Lady" Luppi said sleazily, aiming his comments at Matsumoto "You've got a nice body, so sexy… be a shame if someone were too…fill it full of holes"
One of Luppi's free tentacles sprouted numerous sharp spikes and shot towards Matsumoto
She shut her eyes, bracing for the pain, which never came
Joel had grabbed hold of the spiky tentacle with Fist of the Mountain, which not only covered his usual left arm, but his right arm as well, with Way to the Dawn slung makeshiftly at his back
"It'd be a shame… if someone were to rip this nice tentacle that you've got here" Joel said, mimicking Luppi, and ripping the spiked tentacle apart at the tentacle section as Luppi shouted in pain
"…right off"
